The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 81 Searching for Little Crescent Moon

"Qin Lang, where should we look for him?"

After leaving Luxing Garden, Zhao Qian couldn't help but speak.

"Let me think..."

Qin Lang looked around, a thoughtful expression on his face. "According to Ms. Yunqi, it's been over three hours since Little Crescent Moon disappeared, and it's just a fawn still growing its teeth."

"If there were no human factors, it wouldn't be able to travel very far in such a short time on its own."

"So, it's probably still on this mountain."

"Why don't we split up and conduct a blanket search of this mountain to find where Little Crescent Moon might be hiding."

"If you can find tooth marks with notches, that would be even better."

"Then I'll go in this direction." Cao Dongdong took the lead and pointed in a certain direction. "My intuition tells me that there might be something there."

"I'm going over there." Zhao Qian pointed in another direction.

"Let me take the last direction." Qin Lang spread his hands.

After determining the division of labor, the three of them quickly took action with their respective food spirits.

"Egg, fly higher."

"Gurgle~" Danbao responded, quickly increasing his altitude and looking down at the mountains and forests.

Seven stars flickered in Qin Lang's eyes. Relying on the shared vision effect of the star spirit guardian, he simultaneously searched for abnormalities in the mountains and forests.

However, the process was not smooth.

After all, the area of ​​this forest is not small.

After searching for more than an hour without any results, Qin Lang heard the sound of a rooster crowing in his mind, stopped and waved to the egg in the air.

"Come down first, let's rest for a while."

"Gulu~"

Danbao flew back to Qin Lang, and when he saw the precious egg in Qin Lang's hand, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Eat something first, rest for a while, and then continue searching." Qin Lang smiled. "Have you ever tried raw baked eggs?"

"Guru Guru~"

Danbao shook his head quickly.

"Go and help me pick up some dead branches on the ground so we can taste the raw baked eggs." Qin Lang licked his lips, feeling a little tempted.

In his previous life, when he grew up in the countryside, he had done things like taking bird eggs and roasting them to eat many times. Now that he was in the mountains, he suddenly wanted to try it.

"Gulu!"

Faced with the temptation of delicious food, Danbao's ability to act was unquestionable. He went back and forth in the nearby jungle and soon found a pile of dead branches that formed a small hill. He piled them in front of Qin Lang like a treasure.

Qin Lang smiled and walked forward to check.

Danbao collected almost all the dead branches he could find nearby, but many of them were very wet and could not be used to make a fire.

"This one isn't very good. It must have been broken not long ago."

"This one is okay. Dead branches of this dryness are suitable for burning."

"Why does this one still have leaves...huh?"

Qin Lang's gaze fell on the leaves on the dead branch, and he showed a look of surprise.

There was only half a leaf, the tenderest tip was gone, and the jagged bite marks were clearly visible, which made Qin Lang's heart skip a beat.

Could this be...

The bite marks left by the little crescent moon?

"Danbao, where did you find this dead branch?"

Danbao pointed in a certain direction with his tail. "Gurgle gurgle~"

"So it's over there." Qin Lang nodded in understanding.

Anyway, let’s eat first.

Anyway, the clues won’t run away.

Qin Lang continued to pick out the dead branches and prepared to make a fire.

"Come on, Egg Baby, breathe fire."

"Bear--"

With a light spray from Danbao, the dead branches instantly caught fire and burned vigorously in the open space in the forest.

Qin Lang casually found a few dead branches and made a simple egg roasting rack. He fixed the precious eggs on it, poked a small hole on the top, and placed it on the fire to burn. At the same time, he controlled the distance between the egg and the fire to control the temperature.

After waiting for about five minutes, Qin Lang felt that the fire was almost cooked, so he stood up and extinguished the fire, then poured cold water on the surface of the eggshell.

"Zizzi-"

Countless bubbles and a thin layer of water mist quickly emerged from the blackened eggshell. When the water evaporated, the temperature of the eggshell also dropped.

Before the temperature inside the raw baked egg could be transferred to the shell, Qin Lang peeled the precious egg in no time.

An extremely rich egg aroma instantly gushed out.

Unlike boiled eggs, raw baked eggs are cooked at a higher temperature. The water in the egg white and yolk will continue to evaporate, and the protein will coagulate and denature in the process, eventually resulting in countless small pores in the coagulated eggs.

These pores make the egg taste lighter, and the slightly browned surface has a rich aroma that boiled eggs do not have.

Even without any seasoning, this original deliciousness still made Qin Lang and Dan Bao drool.

What the man and the spirit did not notice was that at this moment, a very slight sound of swallowing saliva was also heard.
-
"hateful!"

In a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, Liu Chuang watched the surveillance footage of Qin Lang and Dan Bao roasting eggs. He gritted his teeth and said, "We're waiting here with empty stomachs, and he's not even actively looking for the deer, but he's roasting eggs!"

"It's just a baked egg." Luo Mi curled her lips. "It looks very simple, without any seasoning at all."

"If you want to eat it, I can make one for you."

Liu Chuang fell silent upon hearing this.

Just your average baked eggs?
What does Xiao Pi's crazy chatter in his head matter?
"That shouldn't be an ordinary egg." Thinking of the precious egg that Qin Lang had snatched before, Liu Chuang couldn't help swallowing.

"Those are the precious eggs laid by the precious chickens!"

Romi: “…”

Baked eggs aren't difficult to make, but she doesn't have any premium eggs!

"Damn it! This kid actually eats so well!" Luo Mi glared at the monitor fiercely and gritted his teeth. "Once we get that precious spirit, we'll also try what a precious egg tastes like!"

"Okay!" Liu Chuang nodded heavily and said immediately, "This guy is alone, how about we just attack him?"

"No rush." ​​Romi crossed his arms and shook his head. "He hasn't found the fawn yet. If we go now, we can only catch one precious spirit."

"We're wanted, so it's not convenient for us to act openly like them. We have to rely on them to find the fawn."

"Youngster, do you understand what maximizing benefits means?"

"Okay." Liu Chuang shrugged, pulled out a piece of sour grass and stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.

This time, he wants to take back everything he has lost!
"Began to eat!"

Qin Lang broke the egg into two with force, handed one half to Danbao, blew carefully on the other half in his hand, and then ate it in a few bites.

The rich aroma of eggs instantly filled his lips and teeth, making Qin Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and reveal a satisfied smile.

The egg baby on the other side ate half of the egg in one gulp. It tasted so good that he rolled over on the spot.

After filling his stomach, Qin Lang stood up holding Danbao and walked straight to the place where he had just found the broken leaves.
